RJ-1478-0

Submitted by administrator on Wed, 03/04/2015 - 00:57

The welded section between the pipe and the spline shaft of the propeller shaft does not have sufficient durability, and it may crack if a sudden start or an uphill start is repeated excessively. If this problem is left unattended, in the worst case, the propeller shaft could break, which would cause the vehicle to stall.

Correction: 
The propeller shaft assembly should be replaced with the factory approved replacement unit. Incidentally, it will take time to supply all the factory approved replacement units, and therefore as a temporary measure, the welded section of the propeller shaft should be inspected, and if the shaft is cracked, it should be replaced with the factory approved replacement unit.
Identification: 
sticker (marked 'HD-37'), blue one for the temporary measure and white/yellow one for the permanent countermeasure, near the striker on the door pillar on the passenger's side
